…"but we don't know much about the brain" is just being lazy. The best description of biological constraints from computer science perspective is in Leslie Valiant work on "neuroidal model" and his book "circuits of the mind" (He is also the author of PAC learning theory influential in ML theorist circles) https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs379c/archive/2012/suggested... , https://www.amazon.com/Circuits-Mind-Leslie-G-Valiant/dp/019...…
on “OpenAI disbands its robotics research team” ↗Leslie Valiant has done some interesting work on quantifying the efficiency of the brain from the viewpoint of computer science, see e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9hRRh76QEA and the book Circuits of the Mind.
